It was scarcely two years ago that the United Suites House of Representatives, in reliance on its constitutional right to judge the qualification of its members, "excluded" veteran Congressman Adam Clayton Powell, Jr., of New York's 18th Congressional district (Har­ lem) from taking his seat-- although he had just been re­ elected by an overwhelming majority. The United States House action was based on find­ ings that Powell had failed to ..» account for committee travel expenditures and had placed his estranged wife on his payroll ° although she lived in Puerto Rico-- and performed no ser­ vices. The Supreme Court found that Powell met the constitutional requirements of Article 1 Sec­ tion 2 of the Constitution; name­ ly, (a) age (at least 25 years old), (b) United States citizen­ ship and (c) residence in the State of New York. The Court went on to decide that any per­ son who meets these consti­ tutional prerequisites and re­ ceives the largest number of votes in a Congressional dis­ trict is entitled to be seated as a member of the Housftll^ Representatives -- not­ withstanding any prior offenses committed against the Congress or society. The House action was reflected in a vote of 307 to 116 ( a better than two- thirds majority) td "exclude" Powell. However, the Supreme Court ruled that even though the Congress was entitled to expel one of its members by a two-thirds vote (after seat­ ing him) it could not "exclude" a person who has been lawfully elected. „. Indeed, the Court appears to have gone further than it need­ ed to go by admonishing the House of Representatives that acts of misconduct committed during a prior session (such as those with which Powell was charged) could not be the basis for Powell's exclusion --or ex­ pulsion. In evaluating the Supreme Court's opinion, it should be recalled that a select commit­ tee of lawyer members of the House was appointed in 1967 when the issue erf seating Rep­ resentative Powell as a mem­ ber of Congress arose. Hie se­ lect committee found (as the Su­ preme Court did) that Powell had met the constitutional re­ quirements which entitled him to take his seat. In addition, the committee also recommen­ ded that Powell should be pun­ ished by (a) a fine of $40,000, (b) the stripping of his senior­ ity, and (c) his removal as Chairman of the House Com­ mittee on Education and Labor. However, in an atmosphere of righteous indignation, the House rejected the recom­ mendations of the select com­ mittee by a vote of 248 to 176, and thereipon proceeded to "exclude" Powell by a mar­ gin of more than two to one. . . \ Hie end of the Adajp Clay­ ton Powell case is not yet in sight. Powell's suit to recover the back salary of which he was deprived during the last Congress will be litigated dur­ ing the months to come. Nor is tee issue between the Su­ preme Court and the United States Congress finally resol­ ved. Many members of the Con­ gress would like to retaliate by depriving the Supreme Court of some of its authority or in some other manner. Indeed, if the United States should be or­ dered to pay Powell his back salary, it is a distinct possi­ bility that Congress would re­ fuse to appropriate the funds. it may be somewhat prophetic that the new Chief Justice of the Siqjreme Court, Warren E. Burger, as a member of the UJS. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, wrote the opinion which was reversed by the Supreme Court in an opinion written by retiring Chief Jus­ tice Earl Warren. r In tee original dismissal of Powell's case, District Judge George L. Hart wrote: "For this court to order any member of the House of Rep­ resentatives *** to do or not to do an act related to the or­ ganization of membership of that House, would be for the Court to crash through the po­ litical thicket into political quicksand." The Supreme Court is now deep in the political quicksand predicted by Judge Hart. It is to be hoped that out of the ex­ isting crisis both the Congress and the Supreme Court may re­ gain their separate and distinct, albeit coordinate status as co­ equal branches of government, • which together with the Exec­ utive branch, form the basis of our constitutional system. \ sniirntMin s Shamrock Beef Cattle corporation manager, Vernon Schiller, points out some of the 630 cattle in a special confinement barn to visitor on the farm. The barn was recently completed at a SHAMROCK FARM BOASTS LARGEST CONFINEMENT BARN Shamrock Beef Corporation, 533 N. Draper road, McHenry, uses the largest beef confine­ ment barn in Illinois. Recently completed, the barn is capable of holding 650 head of cattle and measures 60 feet by 240 feet by 12 feet. According to Vernon Schiller, manager of the farm, tee first yearlings placed in the new barn gained 3.2 pounds per day during the first thirty days of con­ finement. This, claims Schiller, is a 10 per cent increase in feeding efficiency over open pen conditions. The cattle gain their weight by eating from a 235-feet-long belt feeder, the largest of its type in the state. Hie floor is made of reenforced slats over concrete pits to dispose of man­ ure. To ventilate the builtfng, a fan jet system was installed., the first fan jet ventilator to be used in a beef cattle barn. The system consists of large tubes through which 183,000 cubic feet of air is pumped per minute. Completely changing the barn's air every 45 sec­ onds, the ventilator reduces the odor in the building and dis­ courages flies from gathering.
